Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum (4) walks off the field after throwing an interception during the third quarter on Sunday, Sept. 9 at Broncos Stadium at Mile High. The Denver Broncos hosted the Seattle Seahawks in the first game of the season.

Broncos quarterback Case Keenum returned to full practice participation on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday due to knee soreness.

The news, though, was not as encouraging regarding linebacker Brandon Marshall (knee), right tackle Jared Veldheer (concussion) and cornerback/punt returner Adam Jones (thigh), all of whom missed a second consecutive day.

Marshall, who hopes to practice Friday, described the injury as “a little tendinitis,” and it didn’t originate in last Sunday’s win over Oakland.

“It had been going on since training camp,” he said. “It got gradually worse.”

If Marshall is unable to play or is limited, rookie Josey Jewell would take his playing time in the base and nickel packages.

“He’s a really good football player,” defensive coordinator Joe Woods said of Jewell. “Very high football IQ — you could tell that from the first time he stepped on the field.”

Coach Vance Joseph declined to say who would handle punt returns if Jones is inactive.

Broncos ninth-most valuable. Forbes released its 21st annual NFL valuation list and the Broncos were valued at $2.65 billion (ninth in the NFL), a two percent increase from last year.

Hitting the road. The trip to Baltimore will be the first of three Broncos games in the Eastern time zone this year. They play at the New York Jets in Week 5 and at Cincinnati in Week 13.

The Broncos were 0-4 on the East Coast last year. Joseph will have the team fly on Saturday instead of Friday.

“We just want to go out and play the game,” Joseph said. “It’s all about mindset. We’re not going to worry about how far we’re traveling, what time the game starts (11 a.m. Denver time) — we don’t care. I think pushing (the departure) back and just going on Saturday is all about our mindset and not worrying about going east, who we’re playing or where we’re playing. It’s worrying about the Broncos and playing the best we can play.”

Footnotes. Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley (knee) did limited work on Thursday; he played only three snaps in Week 2 against Cincinnati. … Per Bovada, the Broncos’ odds at winning the AFC West have improved slightly, from 11/4 to 5/2. Kansas City is the favorite (6/5) and the Chargers have dropped from 2/1 to 12/5. … Sunday’s referee is Ron Torbert, whose crew has worked the Los Angeles’ Rams’ 33-13 win at Oakland and New Orleans’ 21-18 home win over Cleveland. Torbert’s crew called a combined 19 penalties in Week 1 but only eight in Week 2. … Ravens defensive coordinator Don Martindale on Broncos linebacker Von Miller: “In just studying Von in the offseason, his motor and athleticism are what stand out. It’s like playing LeBron (James). Every now and then, LeBron is going to clear the lane and go dunk. Those types of players do that.You always have to account for (Miller) because he’s that special of a player.”

In the latest First-and-Orange podcast episode, Broncos beat writers Ryan O’Halloran and Kyle Fredrickson break down Denver's priorities over its final two games eliminated from playoff contention. Topics include: Is a Vance Joseph firing inevitable? Which players have the most to prove Monday night against the Raiders? What led to this lackluster season?

I'm going to go against the grain and make the case to keep Vance Joseph for one more season. Last year, the Broncos were rarely competitive. This season, they were a few plays here and there from being 9-4. VJ has shown tremendous growth as a head coach. Last season's Broncos were marred by holding penalties, delay of games, too...
